of the cost. The law should be adj
ministered in the crtuit court with
| the accompaniment of decent and
decorous surround ngs if anywhere,
| because it is in the circuit room
rather than elsewhere that the GEN
eral public come in closer contact
with the dlspensation of Justice.
We are of the opinion that after
your honor's court room has been
overhauled and repaired at public
expense, as is meet, it Should not
be used for all sorts of gatherings,
meetings, political conventions aud
promiscuous assemblies as in times
past, because then it will soon be-
come dirty and diiapidated again.
Once repaired and cleaned it should
be kept so for its legitimate and in
tended use, namely, the holding of
the circuit court. The room is not
q public hall and should not be
made so and we suggest to your
honor rule on this subject
We beg leave to report that there
has been some complaint about sew
ersl turnpikes being out of repair in
the county. We hereby give said
turnpihes notice that their roads
are out of repair and they must re-
pair them. While the turnpikes are
4 benefit to the community, the law
requires them to keep them to their
charter. Some of the roads have
permitted their roadbeds to get out
of repair to such an extent as to
render it unsafe for vehicles and
passengers. We recommend these
roads and their managers to put
their roads in good order at once,
and in case they fail to put their
roads up to their charters we re-
commend that the next grand jury
look into these matters and the
judge so instruct them. We also
ind chat several OF the pixies charge
persons going to church which we
think is wrong and contrary to
their charter and this matter If not
amended should be looked into.
In conclusion, the attorney gen
eral has been active and attentive
to all calls On HIM, and our officer,
Constable I. J. Marks, has been
faithful and ohliging. To your
hoHor's courtesies we are indebted.
Resp'ly submitted,
